The appointment of Prof. Frank
M. Smith to the position of Superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction is one of
the very best Governor Taylor could
have made. Prof. Smith is acknowl-
edged to be one of the finest educators
in the State, and his large experience
as school organizer and teacher
specially qualify him for the office.
The appointment has not yet
been confirmed by the Senate but
there is little doubt that it will
be done ON the re-assembling OF
the General Assembly. 1t is rumored
that some OF the Democratic Senators
are inclined to oppose the confrma'
ton on the ground that Prof. Smith is
in favor OF the Blair bill. We pre-
sumo Governor Taylor did not in
quire whether he was for or against
the Blair bill. 1t was sufficient fol
him to know that Smith was Demo.
crat. Without the aid of the Blail
bill Democrats it is safe to say that
Taylor would not have been elected
Governor. For this reason it would
have been the height OF foolishnes'
for him to prescribe large number
of the very men who helped to elect
him because OF their views upon q
measure that cannot truly be said tc
be party question. The opposition
to Smith ought to cease. The Demo
cratic party is already divided in toe
many factions to attempt to make op
position to the Blair bill test OF De
mocracy.

ers, by Assembly No, 1884, knights of
Labor, claiming $4,000 damages for

claims that the defendants contracted
to pay the union scale of prices from
April LIST, 1886, for one year, which
they failed to observe, thus throwing
many men out of employment, and

The Fishery Dispute.

LONDON, Jan. 28.-The subject OF
dispute between the United States
and Great Britaint in regard to the
Canadian fisheries were brought up in
the house of commons this afternoon,
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary
secretary OF the foreign Office, in ans
wer to inquiries, said the government
had been comforting with the govern.
ment OF the United States on the
question. The Canadian fisheries, he
said, were very valuable and the gov
eminent had followed the policy con-
corning them which had been adopt
ed by preceding governments, and
would maintain the rights OF colonists
with every desire to conciliate the
United States. The government was
unable at present to narrate the "hole
course OF the negotions with the Unit
ed States, but could state that dis.
patch had been received which was Of
pacific character and and afforded
material grounds for hope oil final
settlement of the dispute.
United States Minister Phelps had
an hours conference with the Mar
quis of Salisbury to-day, at the pre-
mier's request, to discuss the Cana
dian fisheries question. The confer
ence was most cordial on both sides.
Lord Salisbury expressed himself graf.
flied at the general tone OF American
press and the people in dispute, and
he assured Minister Phelps that En-,
gland and Canada were equally disir'
Gus OF an amicabIe adjustment of the
whole ease

Ibid Not Like Ii.

Jos. r. Anderson, Esq, a well-known
and prominent citizen of Bristol, Tenn,
was in the city yesterday for a few
hours. He came down on No. and
went back on No, 2. During the time
he was waiting the arrival of his train
a Tribune reporter asked Anderson
what he thought Of the Gloom" that
had struck his town. He said he did
not like it, it was not by any means a
desirable thing to have men so wild
on real estate, especially when it was
confined to men who lived in the city
and that bought only with a view Of
holding for speculation. Such action
would lead to the injury of the local
ity from the fact that should strangers
visit that section, the prices asked fol
land would be so high that it would
draw men, who would otherwise in.
vest, away, and the result would be
that the citizens would hold land at q
fictitious value and not be able to dis
pose of it. This, when the reaction
took place would result in much harm
and possibly business failures. Spec
ulation most generally resulted in un
settling values and ended in panics.-

such railroad is completed through
the county making the subscription,
or beyond the city, unless it is a ter

On Thursday Messrs. Del Chowan, S.
'. Y. Carter and n. S. Mease made a
horseback trip down as far as the BIG
Spring and Rainbow falls. The snow
crust on the two upper coulees was strong
enough to cross upon, but in the lower
it was SO soft that they were com
PEELED to go above and around it. The
gentlemen report that the immense flow
of water from the spring is undiminished.
Large fiocks Of noisy waterfowl are to be
seen in the vicinity. A novel incident was
encountered on the trip. A COW which
s%tubbornly refused to move at their APP
proach proved upon a closer investigation
to be frozen stiff, standing mute but firmly
knee deep in the hard snow.
